iBot Sighting

In LoDo last week, I saw an iBot, which is inventor Dean Kamen's answer to the wheelchair. Try to forget the media circus that took place around the Segway, that silly little scooter (Remember the code name "Ginger" and the idea that our mail would one day be delivered by Segway-driving postal workers?). The iBot is truly amazing; it provides transportation to those who can't just go out and buy a skateboard.

Using gyroscopes, the iBot balances its user high up on two wheels (at eye-level). Best of all, the iBot can take people up stairs. I even found video of a man in an iBot at the shooting range.
